Chapter 21: Into Hiding
Somewhere outside of the city of Tokyo, deep within the thick trees is a secluded area that is near impossible. Normally a GPS would tell you where you are, but not in this unknown spot. However there's one exception, Inuyasha. You would ask yourself, 'Just how on earth did he managed to get to the spot that is near impossible to find?' The Answer; Inuyasha has a few tricks up his sleeve. Normally outside it's down right easy to find where you are. But somehow, there's a bunker deep underground. No wonder no one is able to find it. Inuyasha knew about this particular place from his father. Sesshomaru is aware of this information as well.
Inside the bunker is a just a regular house, just without the windows to look outside. The interior is classy in a nice way. Somehow it's like the Mansion's interior. Inside the kitchen, Inuyasha is making himself some ramen. "Why that asshole!" He angrily murmurs under his breathe despite that he's the only one in the bunker. Crazy enough he's been in here for the last two days. He knows fully well he didn't go to school. He didn't want to go because of Kagome. He's not fully ready to confront her because of their fathers putting them into an arrange marriage behind their backs since the day they were born.His phone chimes to alert him that someone is trying to get a hold of him. He sighs and opens up to see it's a text message, from Kagome.
Now that there is a surprise. He doesn't remember adding Kagome's number onto his contacts list. Unless, his father managed to add her number behind his back as well. No wonder Inuyasha can't seem to get all of this in time. He might as well read what it says.
Inuyasha, I just want to make sure you're doing okay. You should know that since you didn't come to school, you have our friends deeply concerned. When I came home, I met your butler Myoga. He explained to me what you have been doing and insists that I come and look for you. Even though it's hard for me to locate your sense, I'd would need time to think about what happened this weekend. The bottom line is that we're both confused right now. That's why I thought you and me should talk about this personally and not have our friends involved.
Kagome
Inuyasha sighs and puts his phone to the cord to charge since it's almost dead. "And how is it that she'll be able to find me?" He asks himself as he resumes his cooking. Another chime gets his attention. He leans to see what it says.
Myoga gave me a device to locate you.
Just reading that text widens Inuyasha's eyes. "You've got to be fucking kidding me, Myoga!" He screams from the bottom of his lungs. He even growls. "Damn it!" He screams again. He turns off the stove because his little snack is cancelled. He knows fully well that it's best that he might as wait until Kagome arrives alone.
Somewhere in the outskirts of Tokyo, Kagome uses the device that Myoga gave her earlier. So far she's not that far away from the secluded area. Looking around Kagome sees so many trees all around. 'No wonder this is so secluded.' She thought to herself. She zooms into the device's coordinates and can tell that's she's not that far away from the entryway. She walks a few yards up ahead until she spots something in the ground. Like any metal detector, it beeps to pinpoint that Kagome is by the entryway of the hidden bunker. She looks deeper into the tall grass and sees a rope sticking out of the ground.
She pulls out the rope to reveal a latch and opens the ground to see a set of stairs. "I guess this might be the place." She confirms and goes in. She made she closes the latch and walks deep into the depths of the stairs. She pulls out her iphone and turns on flashlight app to see what's up ahead. "Man I wonder how long this case of stairs is?" She asks herself and just keeps on walking.
Up ahead she can see a light at the end of the tunnel. "Finally." She sighs in relief and runs towards it. The light illuminates the door. Soon enough the door opens up to reveal Inuyasha. "Inuyasha." Kagome calls out to him. Inuyasha looks and sees Kagome running up to. "Hey." He waits for her until she's within arm's reach. Once she did, the first thing he does is embracing her like a lifeline. Kagome on the other hand is down right confused. All of a sudden she is picked up and carried bridal style. "Inuyasha what are you doing?" She asks him as she hangs on via through grasps of his neck, in a flattering way. "You and I are going to be in a serious conversation that none of anyone that we know will know any of this." He answers as he takes her to a bedroom.
Along the way, Kagome looks around to see the inside of the bunker. The inside is just like any other interior for an average home. From the nice kitchen to the bathroom, the den etc. Talk about convenient. At the end of the nice hallway, Inuyasha opens the door to reveal a master bedroom. The strange things that the room is missing are actual windows. But the high ceiling is good enough to make sure that the room's space is enough for Inuyasha and Kagome to move around. The walls are in a slate colored of grey with elegant furniture and accessories. The king size bed that is in the middle of one of the walls is made by a blue silk comforter and silk pillows.
Once Inuyasha put Kagome down to the carpeted floor, Kagome crosses her arms and gives Inuyasha a sincere look. "Inuyasha, why would you be here? Was it because of our fathers' secret plan of the engagement?" Inuyasha doesn't changes his stoic look. "Kagome, the thing is that I wanted it to be you and me at this particular place." He answers part of Kagome's question as he points to the floor, making it bit easier for Kagome to get the picture.
Kagome drops her sincere face and replaces it with a look of concern. "Okay…I just want to know why? So far you've answered for how you came here because of what our fathers did behind our back. Is it because you were trying to run away?" She asks him in the end.
When Kagome asked that question, it made Inuyasha lower his head with his bangs to cover his golden eyes. "Yes, I'm trying to run from my problem." He admits to her in a murmur.
